Hot Box

+

I’ve been on hold with my ISP for the past hour now, and I keep getting transferred across the globe and company and yet have been able to talk to someone in the right department. I mean that seems like it should be the easiest part. So if this post is filled with errors, it’s because I’m typing with my phone between my head and my shoulder.

Kingfish Bill Tomlin recorded four sides for Paramount in 1930 most likely both on piano and vocals, though it’s up for debate if he’s playing the piano. He’s a unique blues singer, with a great big voice that bellows out from the speakers. The last part of the side is my favorite as Tomlin decides to speak the last verse way off beat with the piano. Really fantastic.
